O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,
Voll Schmerz und voller Hohn,
O Haupt, zum Spott gebunden
Mit einer Dornenkron',
O Haupt, sonst schön gezieret
Mit höchster Ehr' und Zier,
Jetzt aber höchst beschimpfet:
Gegrüßet sei'st du mir!

Station 6. Saint Veronica wipes Jesus' face

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Liszt)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

O head, covered with blood and wounds,
Full of pain and utterly scorned,
O head, bound to derision
By a crown of thorns,
O head, apart from these, 
wonderfully adorned 
with greatest honor and splendor,
But now most greatly shamed:
I greet you in veneration!

Note: the text above is taken from stanza 1 of the original text.
